Bitcoin Forum

Hi Ladies and Gentlemen,

sorry that i have to post this to the "Newbie" section, but i`m not allowed to put it into some other part of the board.

I want to advertise some new Bitcoin ASIC miner, build completely on our own except the main chip (Avalon). We call it "theASIC". It is able to mine with around 6 to 7 GH/s at a power usage of 70 Watt. Onboard there`s some kind of embedded hardware which allows mining without a additional running computer, if you are running more than two devices, you may chain them via HDMI.

At the moment, ~140 devices are availible in a maximum of two weeks, these are just getting produced by our partners! We already have some of them working at our company for testing and mining.

You are able to buy it on our web page (www.theasic.com, please order through our contact page), it is 3.2Bitcoins for one device with flat shipping fee (to all countries!)! If you have any questions, dont hesitate to ask!

Have a nice day,

Tom

But the website says 5.5 GH/s.
Which is it?

Daisy chaining via HDMI?
Even if it's possible, why?

Could you post a video of your device hashing?
How long have the boards been running without issues?
Also fixing the English on your website would go a long way towards people trusting you.


Cheers

Hi,
With the newest optimized firmware we are getting 6-7 GH/s (depends on the device). We will update this information if its tested enough!

Yes!
When using two devices with the chaining feature, the device gets controlled by a primary device, the embedded hardware on the other devices will be switched off to save some power.


I will post some videos of our device later. Sorry, as we are a chinese based company, it may be possible to have some typos on our website. I will tell it to the responsible employee! Thanks for the tip!

 Sold me right here. Seems legit.

Man, the scams are rolling right in the door today.

Tons of newbies want people to fork over 10's of thousands of dollars.

If theASIC is real, much love to em'. If not, join the crowd.

Until we see this video, I'm going to have to agree this looks like another scam

ok, message send to customer support via web. no confirmation mail yet.(

BS, they've just read about BFL's proposed 2gh/s firmware upgrade and decided to build a product looking similar to a Jalapeño around not fully understanding what a firmware upgrade is.

Then dropped Avalon's namesake for added confusion.

This is one of the more idiotic scams...

avalon will ship chips in the next two weeks?!

In their FAQ, they say they can make and honor without delay the first 80 orders.

I contacted them, but did not recieve a confirmation mail ...

You know why it's a scam? Because i already own that board. It's a PandaBoard.

ohh love services for searching same pictures on the web.

gj.)

Except that this was my own knowledge... But ok ;)

At least they were smart enough to remove the audio jacks.

From their FAQ:
"theASIC can only be bought via Bitcoins, as we greatly enjoy this kind of currency."

For sure that is true. Unlike the rest of this scam.

Hello everbody,

i can assure, that theASIC isn`t scam. The embedded board which is controlling theASIC is definitly based on a (modified) PandaBoard solution (to get the chaining feature, the power supply etc.). It`s also no classic "firmware" update of which i`m talking about, it`s the OS and applications on this embedded board which are going to be upgraded.

I will post a video tomorrow, as i don`t have a device at home and saturday is rather my family-day AND because of this:
I don`t tolerate to call us scammer, as we were really working extremly hard developing this device (which works really fine btw.). It costs us much time and a lot of money. If you don`t have faith in us - just don`t order a device, thats not my problem. I think you forum haters will also call BFL and Avalon a scammer, because you haven`t order sufficiently early enough, now are in a waiting queue and now make yours problem to them.

Greets,

Tom

also put off the fan to see the avalon chips please

Hey, I'm sure he just doesn't want to give away the secret.  If he told us what the secret kind of embedded hardware was, we'd all just order a PandaBoard ES and make our own.  You know, kind of like the formula for Coke, or the colonel's secret fried chicken recipe.  I'm sure that's why he's being vague and saying things like "some kind of embedded hadware", and "it`s the OS and applications on this embedded board which are going to be upgraded".  Makes perfect sense.  Stop trying to steal his secrets!  ;)

I'll bite.  Why did you remove the audio jacks?  Why not just leave them on the Panda board?  Why would a Panda board need a CPU heat sink on top of it?

Why are you copying another hardware companies address?

Scam all the way

This shit is fucking comedy gold!

Tom, tell me about your feeling.) buy domain and space, create web page, create forum acc with hope, that you will suck some BTC on board..and revealed, alone and without any proofs, videos, history..it must be so hard be a scammer in these times.

When trying to scam people, at least have the decency to do it right.

Josh could give you some advice.

You have to understand that people are risk adverse when it comes to loosing btc.

If what you say is true then why don't you pm me.

At the very least you can get me to validate a prototype.

I can even give access to the cgminer team if your claim is real you should consider this as an investment in your product.

prefer scart cables myself :)

This post should have stayed there.... it was in "Newbie" section for a reason.

Cedartec revision #2, anyone?!

Cedartec had "believers"

My very expensive antivirus says that this site is bad for you. Might contain crapware.

The screenshoot...

This is a scam, HDMI only carries video and audio. Full Stop.

Also 0 contact information or address. Never buy anything without a physical address.

Additionally, the website looks like it was put together by an 8 year old. Why they didn't just adapt a free professional-looking template I don't know.

This forum needs a Danger-Minefield sign  :P

They post a physical address (ASICMINER's)

...to scam newbies, or because they are clearly newbies at scamming...?

 ;D Good one!

this

looks really amateur .. he needs to take some butterfly lesson

I like the name though. I thought it was very inspired. I wonder whether they would accept LTC as well, or maybe CNC.

bASIC was also a great name ;)

Actually it also carries ethernet signals in the newest revision.

But looking beyond that, it is a tenuous offer at best. I am not aware that HDMI 1.4 contains any daisy chain structure to begin with.

I want order one with the price of 2.8 bitcoins for the first time. Can be delivered by SF-Express to Beijing or Nanjing, JiangSu Province? I will pay for the delivery fee if I have recieved your product.
If your product is true , I will show photo in this bbs, and I will order more.
So many thinks!
With Best Wishes.

I thought aasic was a good name. My friends tell me it stinks like feet. I do no understand that joke.

8 posts; you're either a noob, a shill, or an idiot...

Can I use a VGA adapter with the HDMI cables?
Correct me if I'm wrong but the HDMI is clearly so you can connect it to a computer monitor to watch it mine?

changed my sig :)

+1

Yes you connect your "theASIC" to your 1080p TV, so you can watch yourself getting screwed in hi-def.

Daisy chain them together so you can share with your neighbors.

how embarrassing..   :-*

Hi tom if this is not a scam how about you send me the hardware I test it out and if 100% working and all fine I send you payment for the device and I  resell the products on my site and business?

Shenzhen is too hot now, otherwise I will pay them a visit to see whether it really exists.
 :D :D :D :D :D :D

I just got a possible great news from this if it is true. So can I predict that the chips will be shipped in two weeks, tom?

You mean it's got a doohickey that doesn't require a widget?

20 Avalon chips? On this?

http://www.theasic.com/img/theASIC2.gif

And a please tell us what the SD card & VGA port are for!  ;D ;D ;D

It's like you're not even trying....

Ahh.  I see now - thanks for the Panda board close up.  Another question: why are there wires connected to the removed audio jack?

You (theASIC) truly are idiots.  Scam accusation time?

A bit late I'm afraid, looks like it was accused of being a scam from the third post onwards...

if you think this was bad, wait tilll you see my latest scam: FUGAISICS

fugaise: noun meaning fake. two sound blaster cards ducktaped to an old Gateway Server HeatSInk with 4 120 MM case for visual aesthetics. hell, i may even go spray paint the thing brown and print a shitcoin sticker and put on it for the logo

I came here to point out, as if it hasn't been said enough, that this is an obvious scam.  Don't give your money to these people folks.

Why are moderators not deleting these posts but instead move them from newbie right here? This makes no sense.

Oh come on it's not as if they were going o make any money.  The 'Custom Hardware' section is a scam improvement arena for potential scammers. They have their scams reviewed and they pass, fail or adjust for future...

This particular scammer obviously graduated from the same school as Cedartec!

Unfortunately he learnt from the same shit teacher!!

I do love it when they adamantly try to defend their BS!

Yes, but how likely is that you have a product to launch, even more an ASIC, and have never had enough contact here to give you a non-newbie account, while at the same time you know NO ONE involved with bitcoin that posts here and could put in a good word for you. A guy with an account of this type is 99.99% scammer. Let them be in the newbies section if they want to post stuff like this.

What would make sense right now is ban this guy from the forum and delete his posts.

There, reported this thread. Lets see if we make this disappear.
